Application filed March 1c, 1918. Serial No. 222,803.

To all whom it may concern} y Be it known that I, EUGENE H. RYERSON,

a subject of the King of England, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented anew mg is a speci cation.

and useful E g-Whip, of which the follow-.

This invention relates to an egg whip, batand the principal obter beater, or the like, jects thereof are to provide a construction having maximum efiiciency for the abovementioned purposes, and at the same time so constructed that it will serve as a spoon for handling eggs, vegetables or other articles, and also to provide a construction in which,

although made of wire so as to be light and easily manipulated, it wlll have a maxlmuin of strength and durability and no parts likely to become unfastened or otherwise loosened in the use of the device and one easily cleaned.

Further objects and advantages of the in-.

vention will appear hereinafter.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which- 1 Figure 1 is a plan of a preferred embodiment of this invention; 1 y t Fig. 2 is a side elevation looking in the direction of the arrow 2 shown in Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is an end view as indicated by the.

arrow 3 in Fig. 2. V y

The device is shown as provided. with a handle made up of a piece of sheet metal 10 wound around the butt ends of the wires making up the blade of the heater and soldered in position around their ends, and provided with a wire 11 coiled around the same and soldered in position thereto. This makes a flat handle of a durable kind all metallic and suficiently rough on the outside so that it is not likely to slip in the hand.

he main portion, bowl or blade, of the I device comprises a plurality of wires 12 and 13, preferably an odd number. The ends of these wires are arranged in a plane and pass into and all the way through the sheet metal member 10 so that they terminate at the end of the handle, not shown. I have designated these wires by two numerals because the wire 13, although having two ends entering the handle at its opposite sides, is

articles.

in a single piece and constitutes the border oredgeof the device It is of a loop-shaped form and forms the top of the article.

Each of the wires 12 extends through the handle in the same way between the two ends of the wire 13 and is co-extensive therewith at that point, but at the other end it extends, only to the loop-shaped end of the wire l?) to which it is fastened by being soldered, welded or otherwise secured to it.

In the preferred form of the invention shown these wires12 are made substantially straight throughout the principal part of their length, but are slanted downwardly away from the plane of the center of the handle, those at the center of the article being slanted more than those near the sides. But at a pointnear their ends they are all curved upwardly and inwardly except the center one which doesnot have to be curved inwardly or sidewise but is curved upwardly. Their extreme ends at 14; are all brought into. contact with the center of the loop of thewirel3 and secured in the pres ent instance to the outside surface of that wire by means of solder, or by being welded to it. The treatment to which they are sub jected in fastening them embeds them somewhat in the wire so that they are not easily pushed sidewise by coming into contact with any obstacle. i y t On account of the shape given the various wires, it will be seen that the egg whip as a whole is spoon-shaped so that it can be used for taking boiled eggs out of hot water, or in fact for lifting vegetables and other Consequently it serves the purpose of a spoon which, being of skeleton form, is instantly drained. Its principal purpose, however, is to be used as an egg whip in the ordinary way, and its utility for this purpose is not reduced by the spoon shape which is given it. On the contrary, it is rather increased because the edge wire 13, which may be made larger and more rigid than the others, is located right in front of the next wire 12, and the second wire 12 is offset only a little from it when the article is used on an ordinary beater or whip. Another advantage of the open sided spoon shape is that the inside portion can 'be reached very readily for cleaning, this being especially useful on account of the frequent use of the article for beating eggs and batter.

Although I haye illustrated and described only a 'sin' lefoi m ofthe invention, 1am aware of lie fact that modifications "can be made therein by any person skilled in the art Without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims.

Therefore I do not Wi h to be limited to all the details of construction herein shown and described, but what I'claim 'is:

1. As an article of manufacture, an egg hip comprising a blade or bowl with a dcp'r'essed center and its sides substantially in a plane raised from said center, made up of a. plurality of Wires, the wires located between the side ones being connected with the side ones at one end to form a handle, and having their outer ends secured to the Otter side of the outer Wire at the -'1oo "en;1thereof in contact with each other along its outer surface.

2. As an article of manufacture, an Whip consisting of a handle and a plurality of Wires extending from the end thereof, their opposite ends all being connected together atone point, said Wires being straight throughout most of their 'leng'th, separated at intermediate points and curved so "as to constitute a blade or bowl of concave form, and'by reason of their long straightportions being sufiiciently flexible to constitute aii'elficient egg Whip.

3. As an article of manufacture, an egg Whi' corn risin a blade or bowl made a" i t D of aplurality of Wires, one"extending arouiid and constituting the edge of the blade and the others being substantially contained within the boi'uida-rie's'thereofand eiitending from one end to the other and all being rigidly connected with each other at "their outer ends'and embedded in and secured to the outer side of the first named t'vire.

4. As an article of manufacture, "an whip comprising a blade or bowl ina'dehp of a plurality of wires, one extending from the handle on one side around the blade to form aloop and back to the handle on the other side, its two ends being brought into parallel position, and spaced apart and the other wn-estaeh havit'gtdrie end located in a plane bet-Ween the tire ends or are first named Wife and permanently secured thereto, their outer ends being secured to the first named Wire at the loop end thereof.

5. As an article of manufacture, an egg jwhip comprising a blade or boirl made up of plurality of Wires, one extending from the handle on one side around the blade to form a loop and back to the handleon the other "side, its t'wo ends being brditrght into parallel position and spaced apart and the other wires each haying one end located in aplane betwe n the two ends of the first named wire and permaiiently secured thereto, their outer ends being'secured to the first nainedKyire' the 'lodpend thereof, in contact with e'zih'dther'aldng the outer surface of the 1661), all the wires being timed to bricihg the blade into concave forin near the E511 6. As anartiele of manufacture, an egg andfba-tter whip eoiapnsinge contrive blade made up'jof a plurality of Wirescurved near their ends to produce a concai ebowl forin and having their "shanks siibs'tantially straight and brought together into a plane at the handle eiid. v

'7. As "an article of manuraeture an and batter Whip comprising a cone blade made *iip of a -p'lural'ity of W" sfi'chivd near their ends to preuaee cb'ilcaw'ehotvl (term and having their jshal s substantially straight and brought to iterate-a lane at the handle end to ft) n fiat hth lie, a sheet metal member s ri'ounding the ends of said shanks and jfalstenetrto them,- and a Wire Wound arouhd tliesheet'nietal insinuato furnish the gripping surface for said handle.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed signature v EUGENE'RYERSQN.
